One of the most extreme and rewarding productions we take care of is Shitbox Rally. A 7 day adventure through Australia's most arduous roads tackled in cars worth less than $1k, all in the name of charity! Since it started back in 2010 it has raised over $6 million for the Cancer Council, making it their largest community fundraiser in Australia.

We have covered production for the rally since 2012, incorporating daily videos, photography and digital content for social media and in 2014 produced a full length documentary, The Rally, together with National Geographic Channel. It premiered in May 2015 and has been broadcast multiple times via Foxtel. More screenings will be announced soon!

ProductionDaily filming, photography and digital content for social media channels. One longer video edited and uploaded a few weeks after the rally ended. After years working on this rally and editing during the stopover locations, we thought it was about time we mixed things up a bit (and got some sleep in the process!). The focus was on "bringing the party back", the 2015 theme which saw shorter driving days and more ridiculous entertainment in the towns we passed through, as well as stops at some of Australia's most iconic pubs including the Birdsville Hotel! The result was a 33min short film cut together in a way that makes you feel as though you're right there with the teams, sucking in all the dirt and the incredible atmosphere that is Shitbox Rally.

ProductionDaily filming and photography with 1min teaser videos edited and uploaded each day for distribution on social media. The rest of the footage was then compiled into a feature-length 90min documentary, 'The Rally', that was edited and released by National Geographic in May 2015!

ProductionFull event coverage including videos and photography. Filming during the day and editing 3-5min videos each night, obviously forgot how much torture that was from the previous year but this time we were smart enough to enlist the help of two extra crew members!

ProductionSelection of team profiles uploaded in the weeks leading up to the rally. Full event coverage including photography, filming and editing of daily videos. Given this was our first attempt at covering the event we thought it would be a great idea to produce daily videos so we could upload them to social media each day, give people back home something to follow etc. Of course this meant we also had to edit the videos at night, forfeiting sleep all together (literally no sleep for 8 days straight, except for some short naps in the back of cars). We edited in some very questionable places within the stopover towns, including the floor of a primary school, a local bistro and the inside of a tent with a power cable running through a toilet block. We didn't realise just how incredible these people would be, the teams each had their own story and reasons for doing the rally, we literally couldn't turn the cameras off, it was just too good! The videos were a huge success not just for teams to show their sponsors and use for fundraising in future rallies but also to promote the rally for what it truly is; erratic, unpredictable, dirty and spectacular! A terrific outcome to what was truly the most horrific sleep deprivation we have ever experienced.
